Friday night was no different performing in front of thousands at MSUM's 42nd Annual 4th of July celebration, Until a surprise visitor showed up for a duet, Her boyfriend Keith Huff, decked out Danny Zuko style.

"I just thought, this will be fun, but I had no idea what was happening," says Christine Rohrer.

The picture became a little more clear when Keith took off the wig, his next move, would leave her speechless.

Keith Huff: "Christine Rohrer, you are the one that I want, for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"

She said yes.

It was a moment Huff wasn't sure he could pull off.

"Former military guy, I know that loose lips sink ships and there was alot of people that knew. and they all... kudos to them. Especially the band. They did a great job," says Keith Huff.

A feat not lost on his new fiance.

"It's amazing to me the planning that went into it. That everybody knew and I had no idea," says Christine Rohrer.
